Many thanks Robert, for implementing this thing I asked for :) Allow me to point out you're a star. In fact allow me to emphasize you're a blooming supernova.
Coupla queries:
* How does 'create flwm right-click menu shortcuts' work? I tried but didn't notice anything different. There didn't seem to be any extra items on rightclicking in flwm.
* What are the command line switches in tce-load - are some dropped?

Booting "base norestore":
--- Code: ---$ sudo tce-setup
$ startx
$ ls -al /home/tc
...
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 160 Dec 17 10:04 .wmx/
--- End code ---
After changing ~/.wmx to tc:staff, ondemand seems to work.

Yes, indeed. Thanks for the feedback. Corrected for rc2.

rsync.tcz
OSS.tcz
--- End quote ---
Are these in the usual repo? If so the info file isn't updated?

Info files updated.
Since libpopt was cut from 2.7 rsync needs it. So libopt was added to rsync.tcz
The modules in OSS were not in the new standard /usr/local/lib/modules/... so the startup script was modified to handle this special case and call depmod -a from within.

Placing an empty tcz2ram.flg to /tce system boots to base only. No extensions loaded, /usr/local/tce.installed dir is empty. copy2fs.flg works as expected.
EDIT:
Tried the same stick with another machine. No extensions are loaded even if there are no tcz2ram.flg so it has nothing to do with it, problem is something else.
EDIT:
Third machine tested, works fine.

I suspect that it is the partition scheme on the pendrive not being recognized.
On those machine which experienced a failure what does fdisk -l display?
If not a clean partition table with recognized filesystem type then how was this pendrive with TC created?

RE: ondemand shortcuts:
You must be using the flwm either topside or classic.
As previously noted by Juanito, there is a permission error and that you must correct.
sudo chown +R tc.staff .wmx
sudo chmod +R g+w .wmx
Also you need to adjust /opt/.xfiletool.lst from home/tc/.wmx to home/tc/.wmx/Applications
From a command prompt type ondemand and follow the prompt.
OnDemand means not having to load all your extensions at boot time, but on demand after boot by easily right clicking the flwm menu. This can translate to boot times that rival base. Currently only supports flwm.
RE: tce-load flags
Typing tce-load will display a usage message with available flags. Only -r was dropped. The usual
-w = wget, -i = install work as before.
But if you like command line stuff, check out my new ab tiny command line appbrowser. Just start with any search term, e.g., ab games
